Agreed. It's disappointing to open up a thread that's about casting, news, and interviews for Season 3, expecting to see news about season 3, and see almost nothing but page after page of spoilers about things that aren't actually a part of the topic at hand.

There are other threads for those discussions...

Yeah, but we're not talking about the books, we're talking about how certain plot lines will be adapted for the show. There's just not much to talk about when there isn't any casting news or new trailers. I've discussed some spoilers, yeah, but I've also provided some cool new posters for you guys to look at.

Again, I think a lot of it has to do with how characters are portrayed in the show versus how they were portrayed in the book. If I hadn't seen the first two seasons before reading, then I might feel differently.

Dr. DVD

Maybe it's because I've read everything first that I have these preconceived notions about the characters. I have never seen Tywin as anything but an asshole with contempt for his son during the TV show, but that's because nothing I see is at face value when I watch.

Charles Dance confirms basically what we already knew:

Just rewatched Season one this weekend. The episodes hold up extremely well. They have better material for Season 3 and 4 from Books 4,5,6 and a bigger budget. Can't wait.

Dr. DVD

I think this echoes the sentiments of many fans. Will re-post in the book forum as well.

I just saw Emilia Clarke, butt naked 20 feet in front of me, in person.



Lots of gasps from the audience who did not expect it.

Saw a bus stop advertisement for the new season this morning, we're getting close!

I'm going to start re-watching the first two seasons tonight...are there some complimentary episode guides that I can check out after each episode? I guess I'm not really looking for the typical "this is what happened" guide, but just something that helps fill in some details as to why this person hates this person, histories, little things that will help a non-book reader understand exactly what's happening.

pinata242

The Blu-Ray sets have about an hour of histories and lores narrated by characters and told from their view (or the view of their House/Ancestors). They can really help fill in those gaps. I believe you can branch directly from the episodes to them as well.

There are in-episode guides too. Not sure how helpful though.

I just went through season 1 on blu. This was at least my 3rd time watching the episodes and they were as great this time as the first. I got burnt out on special features years ago but I finally decided to watch all of these and they're amazing. The narrations of all the back stories are really cool and the ones with Addy and Dance are my favorite.

I went to the GoT exhibit currently in Toronto over the weekend. Amazing stuff, like going to a "real" exhibit in a museum. The level of quality and attention to detail in the props and costumes is phenomenal. They had pretty much all the major costumes/props there.

Random observations:
- Lena Headey must be a size zero to fit into her costume. The waist is tiny!
- Emilia Clarke must be super short as Dany's costumes look like they're for a child.
- on the opposite end, Nicholaj Coster-Waldau sure is tall. His Goldcloak armour is very imposing, as is Charles Dance's Lannister armour.
- House Stark's clothes are very...stark. Not so stylish up in the North hehe.
- the sword Ice is absolutely massive, though Longclaw isn't as big as I thought it would be.
- they had the models for Season 2 and 3 for Drogon. He sure has grown up!
- they had the full letter that Theon wrote to Robb of the impending Greyjoy attack. It was rather heartbreaking to read. They also had Ned's long letter to Stannis. The calligraphy was very hard to read on this one though.
- the Iron Throne would be perfect in my living room. 7 feet tall with spikes everywhere.

The exhibit will be touring in NYC, Sao Paulo, Amsterdam, and Belfast as well.

For the nostalgic folks out there, here's the opening credits from the show's first season in 1995:

Autotelik

She is quite short (not sure about super short). Just saw her Broadway play in NYC last week, and she looked short on stage, even with heels.

The best part was the bad tracking.
